With this daily health risk, I was happy to hear about the launch of TobacAlert, an easy-to-use test for second-hand smoke exposure that requires no special equipment or training and can be used for at home or at the workplace.
Lyme is mainly found in the eastern United States with smaller risk areas on the west coast. It is caused by the transmission of the Borrelia burgdorferi spirochete via the bite of the blacklegged Ixodes tick. Additional species are found in Europe and northern Asia.
